discretion as reflected by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement: (i) determine and
designate from time to time those eligible employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to whom
Options are to be granted subject to Section 4.1 hereof, and the number of shares of Common Stock

such other factors as the Board may deem relevant; (ii) determine the time or times when and the
manner and conditions under which each Option shall be exercisable and the duration of the exercise

each Option shall be seven years from the date of grant. Unless earlier expired, forfeited or
otherwise terminated, each Option shall expire in its entirety upon the day after the last day of

circumstances as otherwise provided hereunder, in the Securities Holders Agreement or under the
Award Agreement.

6.4. Vesting and Exercisability. Each Option, to the extent that the Holder has not

Price made, by a Holder only by written notice (in the form prescribed by the Board) to the Company
specifying the number of Common Stock to be purchased.

shares of Common Stock equal to A divided by B. A equals the number of shares of Common
Stock with respect to which such Option is exercised multiplied by the excess of the then Fair

cases, be subject to the provisions of the Award Agreement and the Securities Holders Agreement
between the Company and the Holder. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Board may
(but need not) permit other transfers of Awards where the Board concludes that such transferability
does not result in accelerated U.S. federal income taxation and is otherwise appropriate and
desirable.

of tax withholding determined by the Board to be required by law. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Board may, in its discretion, require an Holder to pay to the Company at such

obligation to withhold federal, state or local income or other taxes incurred by reason of the
vesting or exercise of any Award.

and regulations of any government authority or to obtain tax benefits applicable to an Award.

determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of Common Stock
issuable pursuant to the Plan is required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal
law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a
condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of Awards, no issuance of Common Stock shall be
made in whole or in part, unless listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval has been
effected or obtained free of any conditions in a manner acceptable to the Board.

6

10.4. In the event that the disposition of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Plan is not
covered by a then current registration statement under the Securities Act, and is not otherwise
exempt from such registration, such Common Stock shall be restricted against transfer to the extent
required under the Securities Act, and the Board may require any individual receiving Common Stock
pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Common Stock, to represent to the
Company in writing that such Common Stock will be disposed of only if registered for sale under the
Securities Act or if there is an available exemption for such disposition.

ARTICLE XI.
INTERPRETATION AND AMENDMENTS, OTHER RULES.

11.1. The Board may make such rules and regulations and establish such procedures for the
administration of the Plan as it deems appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the

such interpretations to be conclusive and binding on all persons and otherwise accorded the maximum
deference permitted by law; and (iii) take any other actions and make any other determinations or
decisions that it deems necessary or appropriate in connection with the Plan or the administration
or interpretation thereof. Unless otherwise expressly provided hereunder or under the Award
Agreement, the Board, with respect to any grant, may exercise its discretion hereunder at the time
of the grant or thereafter. In the event of any dispute or disagreement as to the interpretation
of the Plan or of any rule, regulation or procedure, or as to any question, right or obligation
arising from or related to the Plan, the decision of the Board shall be final and binding upon all
persons. The Board may amend the Plan as it shall deem advisable, except that no amendment may
adversely affect an Holder with respect to an Award previously granted without the Holders
consent, unless such amendments are required in order to comply with applicable laws; provided that
the Board may not make any amendment (other than an amendment contingent on shareholder approval)
in the Plan that would, if such amendment were not approved by a majority of the Companys
stockholders, cause the Plan to fail to comply with any requirement of applicable law or
regulation, unless and until the approval of the Companys stockholders is obtained.

12.1. Changes in Capital Structure. In the event of a reorganization,
recapitalization, stock split, spin-off, split-off, split-up, stock dividend, issuance of stock
rights, combination of units, shares or other securities, merger, consolidation or any other change
in the structure of the Company affecting the Common Stock or any other event which in the judgment
of the Board necessitates action by way of adjusting the terms of the outstanding Awards or the
Shares, then the Board, in its full discretion, shall make appropriate adjustment in the number and
kind of shares authorized for use under the Plan and any adjustments to outstanding Awards as it
determines appropriate. The adjustments to outstanding Awards shall include, but not be limited
to, the number of Common Stock covered, the respective prices and/or limitations applicable to the
outstanding Awards. No fractional Shares shall be issued pursuant to such an adjustment.

7

The Fair Market Value of any fractional Shares resulting from adjustments pursuant to this
Section 12.1 shall, where appropriate, be paid in cash to the Holder. The determinations and
adjustments made by the Board pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall be conclusive.

12.2. Certain Corporate Transactions. In the event (1) the Company is consolidated
with or otherwise combined with or acquired by a person or entity, (2) of a merger of the Company
with or into another corporation, (3) of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company on a consolidated basis (4) of a divisive reorganization, liquidation or partial
liquidation of the Company, or (5) of an Approved Sale, unless otherwise provided in an Award
Agreement and subject to the rights and provisions set forth in the Special Stock Agreement, the
Board, at its election may take any of the following actions with respect to an outstanding Award:

(a) accelerate the vesting of such Award and terminate the Award immediately prior to the date
of any such transaction, provided that with respect to Options the Holder shall have been given at
least twenty (20) days written notice of such transaction and of the Boards intention to cancel
any Options that remain unexercised;

(b) terminate the Award immediately prior to the date of any such transaction, provided that
with respect to Options, the Holder shall have been given at least twenty (20) days written notice
of such transaction and of the Boards intention to cancel any Options that remain unexercised;

(c) cancel any Options that remain unexercised in exchange for a payment in cash of an amount
equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock over the Exercise Price for such
Option. If the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option is less than the
Options Exercise Price, the Award shall be canceled with no further payment due the Holder;

(d) require that the Award be assumed by the successor corporation or that Awards for shares
or other interests in the successor corporation with equivalent Fair Market Value be substituted
for such Award; or

(e) take such other action as the Board shall determine to be reasonable under the
circumstances to permit the Holder to realize the Fair Market Value of the Award.

The application of the foregoing provisions, including, without limitation, the issuance of
any substitute Awards, shall be determined in good faith by the Board in its sole discretion. Any
adjustment may provide for the elimination of fractional Common Stock. In taking any action
described above, the Board may in its discretion determine that the value of a Award equals the
excess of the fair market value of the consideration to be received in the merger, consolidation,
combination, sale, reorganization, liquidation or Approved Sale had the Award been exercised with
respect to such Common Stock immediately prior thereto, over the Award exercise price of such
Award, or such lesser amount as the Board may determine, including, in the case of an unvested
Award, or portion thereof, determining a value of zero.

8

12.3. Board Authority.

The judgment of the Board with respect to any matter referred to in this Section 12 shall be
conclusive and binding upon each Holder without the need for any amendment to the Plan.

ARTICLE XIII.
